1 Data Description

The data we have chosen for this project is the Australian Road Deaths Database (ARDD) provided by the Australian Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE). The records are updated monthly from 1986 to 2021. Here is the link to the database : https://data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-5b530fb8-526e-4fbf-b0f6-aa24e84e4277/details.

There are two data files. The fatality data contains the demographic and details of people who have died within 30 days of the traffic accident due to injuries caused by an Australia road crash. The fatal crashes data contains the records for the crash, including information like the road type, and speed limit. The two data files can be connected by the crash ID. See Appendix for more detailed descriptions of each variable.
